Unable to drag files from File Explorer to Notepad++

So I recently updated Notepad++ to the latest version. I was asked to launch the program at the conclusion of the update, and I hit yes.

However, I was not able to drag and drop files onto notepad++. Searching online for a possible cause of this phenomenon led me to this post on super user.

I noticed notepad++ was opened as an administrator, as the title bar contains (Administrator). Closing and reopening notepad++, ensuring notepad++ was not run as an admin solve the problem. I am able to drag and drop the files onto Notepad++ again.
